waterlogged

rain, rain and more rain, since last week and on through this entire week. sigh. clearly not a good time for taking pictures outdoors. I'll be lucky if I get any tulip shots up in Mount Vernon at all this year.

the Saab is no longer dead, but I've not got any money to go and get her (or any to return her, now that the lease is up, for that matter). $1200 to replace and fix two parts. I've been cursed.

I have started doing my taxes, though, and I don't think my refund will be as grand as I had hoped. so that puts the k'bosh on plans to do the show in Pleasanton. I've taken it off my schedule, but, as you can note, I have been accepted into the Vancouver Garden Show, up in the Van Dusen, this June, and I am definitely going to do that. there's a vendor orientation on 11 April, and I'm hoping the weather will have cleared by then, enough to get in some decent shots on the way up to Vancouver, as well as in my favorite gardens there, the Van Dusen and the UBC Botanical Gardens. I'm praying that the Previa is up to the task! >g<

at long last, the CSS revisions to my site are done, with a whole new style applied across all 150-odd pages. I also did some reviewing of my portfolios, and found that I was missing two of my favorite photos:





I also had the chance to review four new pieces I began working on at varying times in the last several months, and have now included them in my studio momo portfolio:









not too bad...
